VH Global Energy Infrastructure plc announced on 19 December 2024 a one-month delay in the production of the first CO2 stream from its UK flexible power plant, now expected in late January, due to commissioning delays and a minor fault in the carbon capture units. Full export of CO2, including the second stream, is now scheduled before the end of Q1 2025. The site is almost 90% commissioned, with the power island comprising six Rolls Royce MTU engines already onstream.

Update on the UK flexible power project
VH Global Energy Infrastructure plc ("the Company") has today provided an update on the commissioning progress of its UK flexible power plant with carbon capture and reuse.
As a result of initial delays in commissioning the high-temperature Organic Rankine Cycle turbines and a minor fault in the carbon capture units detected at the start of commissioning, the Company has taken the prudent decision to delay the production of the first CO2 stream by one month to late January. This decision also takes into account the planned cessation of works during the Christmas period. Full export of CO2, including the second stream, is now scheduled before the end of Q1 2025.
The Company remains excited by the successful delivery of this innovative project, which supports renewable energy access in the UK through grid stabilisation while reducing greenhouse gas emissions at the point of generation. As of today, the site is almost 90% commissioned, with the power island comprising of six Rolls Royce MTU engines (four 16V engines and two 12V engines), as well as gas pipework on site onstream. Commissioning of the carbon capture facility is ongoing.
The Company is focused on delivering all elements of the project to the highest standard, reflecting its commitment to robust execution and long-term performance.
